Woman killed in Highway 4 crash

STOCKTON - A woman was killed in a three-car collision early Wednesday morning on Highway 4 in central Stockton, the California Highway Patrol said.

The CHP identified the woman only as a 52-year-old Lathrop resident. Her name has not been released.

According to the CHP, the woman was traveling east on Highway 4 near El Dorado Street when the 2005 Chevy she was driving spun out of control. The vehicle came to rest partially in the No. 1 lane and partially in the center median. Two approaching vehicles then collided with each other while trying to avoid the woman's car, officers said. Both drivers lost control of their vehicles, and one struck the left side of the woman's car, the CHP said.

The eastbound No. 1 lane of Highway 4 was closed for approximately 3 1/2 hours while officials investigated the scene, the CHP said. Alcohol was not a factor, and no one has been arrested in connection with the collisions, officers said.
